Professors to PM: Comptroller's Report Not Logical

21 Israeli economics professors sent a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday in which they warn that accepting the State Comptroller’s report on the Carmel fire will break the budget.

“The Comptroller’s report is contrary to economic and logic social and is also inconsistent with the law,” the professors wrote to Netanyahu. “The approach implied by the Comptroller’s report will encourage all government offices to transfer responsibility to the Treasury by introducing excessive requirements for an additional budget for lifesaving issues.”
